I thought it was a myth that market makers can see stop orders? How do they know my order is a stop versus a buy or sell order? I understood it to mean they might be able to see a pool of orders but then so can everyone else with an order book. It doesn't mean they know those to be stop...

Best Product - Sure Thing - Takeover Target Three phrases in any research report that makes me skeptical of an investment. I suppose Due Diligence is key to any investment option, but when it starts out with the sure thing approach, I tend to shy away. My 2 cents.

I love it. A CNBC clip from 1999. That's like Elizabeth Taylor saying "But I was on DYNASTY!!!!, I'M GOOD!" (disclaimer: I like Liz)

I have to agree with the STC practice tests only approach. I started reading the million page manual ( not that long but seemed like it ) and ignored advice to just take the practice tests and you'll be fine. After about 7 chapters I gave up and just spent a month and a half just doing all the...

My guess is it's not the 250 that excites them, but rather the possibility of seeing their faces on t.v. or seeing their name in print. 15 mins for everyone.

Point taken. I suppose that with my limited knowledge of this so far, I did what most did. Blew some cash and didn't know why, realized I needed more, went for the free stuff and then eventually I might pay for a few things that might be more in depth. I'm probably at the point of I don't...

I would have to disagree with this somewhat. I wouldn't take the GMAT without studying for it first. Otherwise, waste of money. Just trying to trade the market without any preparation cost me a few thousand out of the gate.

I'd actually peruse the internet for free TA information. I started three months ago and just did that. I don't know many different ways the Cup and Handle can be explained in a book that makes me want to spend 50 bucks. HardRightEdge was one I found for various stuff and then just used...

One of life's interesting circles. I have found myself many times saying or writing something about something, only to be connected with that something at a point later in life. There has to be a cliche in this somewhere, I just don't know what it is.

This is the hard part for me. I have trouble getting an 80% success rate with an expected 2/1 reward/risk ratio. I'm new, but I'm barely at 50% just trying to get 1/1. Is 80% 2/1 a realistic expectation somewhere down the line?

I found the same with my software firewall and have done what you advised medved. It helps the connection during the trading day. Thanks!
